Let's talk about one of the simplest ways you can make your work stand out in a crowded market: Tame those edges! It's amazing how a few minutes of work (elbow grease!) on your edges will transform the look and feel of your piece and really take it to the next level. As I mention in the video, there are many ways to burnish edges, and some work well on certain leathers but not as well on others. Here, I am sharing one technique that I've found to work well on the majority of the leather type I use. I hope this helps you take your work to the next level. Happy crafting, friends!
